construct = build（完全可互换，无任何区别）
✓
construct（书面正式，强调系统性规划和建造：construct a stadium = 建造体育场，偏正式文件/新闻）；build（日常通用：build a house = 建房子；build a team = 建立团队；build confidence = 建立信心）；construct 不用于「逐步积累」的抽象义（× construct trust / × construct a career；用 build）；此句 council voted to construct = 正式公文语境，用 construct 正确
市议会投票决定在河边前工业用地上建造一座新的体育综合设施。（construct = 书面正式；build 日常通用）
⚠️a social construct（社会建构）——名词用法及发音重音
✗
The professor argued that race is not a biological reality but a social construction, shaped by historical patterns of power and inequality.
教授认为种族不是生物现实，而是一种由权力和不平等的历史模式塑造的社会建构。（a social construct / social construction 均正确，学术用法）
a social construct（名词：社会建构，概念框架）和 social construction（建构的过程/结果）在学术英语中均正确；严格说：a construct（名词）= 一个概念性框架（a theoretical construct = 理论构念）；construction（名词）= 建造过程，或「建构」的行为（the social construction of reality = 现实的社会建构）；两者在学术社会学中均接受，此处两个都对；注意：CONstruct（名词，重音在前）vs. conSTRUCT（动词，重音在后）

construct vs build
